I was wondering if I am able to get my CCW permit at 20 years old?? I am a real estate agent and I show abandoned homes that are often broken into Or even in bad neighborhoods at all hours of day/night..
Can I or can I not?
Thanks!

I think I could easily qualify. But I think where is get shut down every time is the FTF meeting with your country sherrif to explain why you need to a CCW and what is will serve that the LEOs can't be solved with LEOs..

Of course I know they would pretty much shut down EVERYTHING you throw at them feeling like gods when you doubt their ability they can do/handle anything.. But when you expect it they being the oh well.. Actually loop holes on why they aren't obligated or exempt from certain tasks.

But the paper work/fee side and need for one I think with my current job and responcibilaties would technically qualify me.

27875 (was 12078(c)(2)) also means parents or grandparents can transfer handguns to children or grandchildren 18 or older. Since it's illegal for dealers to transfer handguns to people under 21, this is the way people 18, 19 and 20 can legally receive handguns. (Penal Code 25605*(was 12026) is quite clear that those 18 and over can "own, possess, [and] keep ..." a pistol or revolver.)

Does this work if my uncle wants to gift me a hand gun also?? Or only for pArents and grandparents?

As other's have said. Yes, you can own a handgun at 20 years old. Gifted handgun transfer via Mother/Father, or Grandmother/Grandfather. You need your HSC and that's about it.

As far as the CCW goes. It really depends on what county you live in. Some are very easy (Sacramento for instance) while others are near impossible (LA county, SF county) but not impossible. Their is a dedicated LTC/CCW forum where you might want to look around for info. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/f...play.php?f=179

I sent in the inter-famial transfer paperwork in my name only & it was approved by CA DOJ.

So don't rule out the inlaws either....

Just because the CA DOJ did not know you were violating the law does not mean you were not violating the law.

Are you advocating on an open public forum that someone knowingly violate the law?
